Re: Firewall Brake Booster Conversion Kit's
If you aren't dressing the engine compartment up for show there is nothing wrong with running a firewall mount master cylinder if you have an automatic. I had one in my 48 when it was subframed but hated to open my hood at shows and had to open the hood at the 82 Chevy-GMC truckin Nationals in Ogden where I did win a trophy. If I was building a daily driver with an automatic or didn't have money tied up in engine dress up finned polished aluminum and ran the automatic rather than 5 speed I would firewall mount it. Personally I don't like the looks of these trucks and especially lowered custom trucks with the hood open. On the other hand some shows require the hood to be open for judging and the finned aluminum on the six gains points.
